Critic Reviews of "Mysterious Skin"
Miami HeraldJuly 29, 2005Gone is the gloomy nihilism of The Doom Generation and The Living End, replaced by a melancholy, but hopeful, affection toward people with the capacity to overcome tremendous psychological trauma.
Arizona RepublicJuly 21, 2005The audience has gotten the point roughly 90 minutes before the characters do.
Philadelphia InquirerJuly 21, 2005Manages to deal with its raw, awful subject matter in ways that are both challenging and illuminating.
Dallas Morning NewsJuly 01, 2005This is a challenging and ultimately moving film that deserves to find a like-minded audience.
Boston GlobeJune 24, 2005The usual Araki elements are here (hustlers, rebels, uproar, the absurd), but now he appears to be working with focus and compassion.
Bangkok PostMay 11, 2016Like most good films, this one demands something from you, not just you from it. Some may run for cover, or for the exit, but those who stick around this strange and rich film will be sent out floating.
The DissolveMarch 17, 2014[...] For a movie about something as painful as child sexual abuse, Mysterious Skin doesn't repel. There's an allure to the images, which are as carefully posed and framed as figures in a softly illuminated dollhouse.
Blu-ray.comMarch 07, 2014Contains a few flat notes of community participation, but Araki locates all the necessary surges of hopelessness and misguided desire, ending victorious in his quest to adapt Scott Heim's provocative novel.
Empire Magazine AustralasiaNovember 07, 2012By exploring the taboo topic of paedophilia in a humanist manner that avoids sensationalising or heavy-handed verdicts, Araki's eloquent, sensitive film actually presents an indictment far stronger than any moral grandstander ever could.
